Abstract

The application of a CAEN DT5730 digitizer unit for fast neutron metrology and applications has been explored. The standard methods implemented to obtain a calibrated light output parameter from the integrated anode output has a high sensitivity to the selection of pulse integration time. We report on measurements made at the n-lab within the Department of Physics at the University of Cape Town which explored alternative approaches to determining the light output parameter with the digital acquisition system, aiming for a high degree of consistency.
